Halo Composer Kazuma Jinnouchi leaves 343 Industries

He was fantastic but I have to think Marty is returning now
Apple Music here and it's gone. Was just there yesterday. Hope they find a way to bring it back...it's not even available for purchase on iTunes

I guess this kind of heralds the return of Marty McD.
Some of his composition from Halo 4 is utterly haunting:
1. Legacy
2. Requiem

I really liked his work on the series, so it sucks to see him go. I guess it doesn't actually prevent him from future involvement though. Regardless, best of luck to him.
And now, my question is... I wonder if Marty is going to return now.

"117" from Halo 4 was definitely his main contributor. It was practically the new theme of the Reclaimer trilogy at the time and stands out the most from all of the tracks. Despite this, it was mostly Neil Davidage that did most of Halo 4's soundtrack that really took the tone of the series into a new direction. However, what Jinnouchi did with Halo 5 was take what Davidage did, and bring some classic Halo back. This track in particular, a combination of both his "117" theme and the classic Halo theme, is pretty top tier.
Disagree. I really enjoyed a lot of H4s music. 117, Arrival, Green and blue were great. But To Galaxy was top tier Halo music.
Which was his main contributor to Halo 4. Most of Halo 4 was done by Neil Davidage. And even then, I find a lot of tracks from Halo 4 to be amazing.
I guess it depends on how much work he's done on Golem. The game has been delayed so long now. Still, scoring a Halo is such a huge committment, especially if the scope of Infinite is as big as some of us think it is.
There ya go, but things can change... It doesn't necessarily say he finished it, just that he has done work on it.

"Kaz did awesome work on the Halo Infinite score and is still here as composer at 343. Marty is not working on Halo or with 343 in any capacity to my knowledge. As far as I know, Marty and his studio Highwire Games are working on "Golem" for PS4."
Kaz is an amazing Composer and some of his tracks in Halo 5 are really really good. Wish him all the best!
Let the Marty rampant speculation and rumors begin. That being said, I don't think it's gonna happen :c
"did awesome work" Does not mean "he did the entire soundtrack and finished it"
He could have done the whole thing, and finished it, but we don't have that information.
He did a great job following in Marty's footsteps, which was no easy task. Hope for the best in his future endeavors. Now bring Marty in to do what he does. Make me have all the feels Marty!
As odd as all this sounds it's literally all coincidence and not a single theory out there is correct, unless the theory is:
A weird licensing/publishing thing caused digital versions of H5 to temporarily disappear and is being fixed but by that vendor not us. Affected other properties too.
Kaz is amazing and beloved and we're still going to be seeing him even as he embarks on this new adventure.
Marty is amazing and isn't working with us because he continues to be one of the bosses of a VR company working on something cool that I can't wait to play properly.
We have nothing to announce regarding music at this time- although obviously internally we know what we're up to and Halo Infinite will continue the Halo legacy of stirring orchestral themes and scoring you'd expect from a big game.
My plan for 100% Strongbad Techno was rejected. At least for the moment. But I'm not giving up on it yet.
And a few of my favorites for old times sake including my favorite take on a Marty theme and maybe the most cheese-who-cares-bombastic hype inducing piece of music forever.
I wasted to name this track, "flawless cowboy " but acceded to a good argument.

Not at all.
No bad blood. Well wishes for all.
And 343i have an idea where they're going musically.
seriously? you are missing out. its a bit hit and miss, but the hits are among the best halo has offered.
I've always really liked what he brought to the Halo soundscape! Thanks, man, I'm wishing you well on your journey!
I was fixing an absolutely aggravating bug on a phone operating system I won't name but will say has by far the worst copy paste and autocorrect of all time.
The above is the intended post. Before the edit it was three identical links.
Brain fart, Autocorrect fight and thumbs and tbh greasy chicken wing fingers of "Infinite "
Also code name scoop. Which is worst scoop.
